BMW E46 quad projector, FX-R retrofit

Another project I’m working on. It’s a quad projector setup to replace the current halogens. Reason I’m doing this project is due to my crappy current beam after being poisoned by FX-R output beam pictures around the net.

Two pairs of projectors:
1. E46 AL bi-xenon
2. FX-R bi-xenon

The setup will be using an E46 projector internal headlight housing and FX-R retrofitted into the high beam reflector bowl. The FX-R will be the low and high beam, while the E46 is to flash. Due to the flashing requirement, the E46 AL projector will be using halogen H7 bulb. Okay on to pictures..

Carputer CPU moved!

A small labor-day break update. The CPU was moved out from the glovebox to the passenger footwell area, as me and the dad doesn’t like the idea of losing the convenience of the glovebox. So welcome back glovebox and goodbye passenger legroom. This is also good for CPU cooling. It is held by some expensive velcro straps from the local ACE hardware outlet.

Also bought subwoofer and amp to supplement the lows which has been bugging me for awhile. Just need to install them..

Things still left to do
1. Good bluetooth USB dongle as the one bought for rm10 only work for 2 days
2. Find and install mic for phone integration
3. Reset button
